Dear Sir
I have put a certificate to this power of Attorney which I am willing to make oath to, provided you may deem it necessary -
The Gen 1782 instead of 1783 in the deposition of Joseph Gamble, was a mistake of mine and not his, for I recall he asked me what year the troops enlisted during the war were discharged and I told him 82 which was my opinion at the time without reflection -
Should you deem it necessary that I make oath to the truth of the certificate I have given please to return the paper to me for that purpose -
Respectfully yours &c
David Thomas
